The bill was fine other than the amnesty/extension/whatever you want to call it. Byrd has an ACU rating of 31 so he's not quite as bad as the other Dems. He voted in favor of Ashcroft as well as the Helms Boy Scout amendment which barely passed.
I just can't imagine how the amnesty provision helps Bush among anyone other than illegals. It was a dud in the polls when he tried it the first time, before the attacks!
